New Previews for The Vampire Diaries and The Originals

We know The CW is trying to differentiate “The Originals” from its parent, “The Vampire Diaries,” but it’s the Friday before a long weekend and we’re being lazy so here are the new previews for both shows in one convenient place.

“The Vampire Diaries,” the CW’s #1 series, returns Thursday, October 3rd, for its fifth season, promising twists, turns, and of course (love) triangles in this new chapter for our heroes, post-graduation. Along with the new “Imposter” preview, we also have a special treat for the Damon Salvatore fans out there. You’re welcome!

“The Originals” premieres Thursday, October 3rd, as the original family from “The Vampire Diaries,” Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Elijah (Daniel Gillies), and Rebekah (Claire Holt), find a new home in New Orleans, a city now run by Klaus’ former protégé Marcel (Charles Michael Davis).

The series moves to its regularly scheduled night and time on Tuesday, October 8th.
